No Texas does not allow wages to be garnished, however the person or company can get a judgment against you and take the money from your bank account.
Yes, Texas is a community property state therefore all joint marital accounts can be garnished regardless of which spouse incurred the debt. Accounts held by persons not married, places the burden of proof as to the percentage of funds belonging to non-debtor account holder and would therefore be exempt from judgment levy.
Wages cannot be garnered for medical bills in Texas. They can also not be garnered for credit card debt, mortgage debt, or car loans.

Yes your bank account can be levied for a credit card debt in texas. They CANNOT garnish your wages but they can levy your bank account if they sue you and get a default judgement. I found this out the hard way. My husband had stopped paying on a credit card in 2006 and we received a notice 12/2009 that they were suing him but was not aware of what they could really do besides put it on his credit. They froze every account with his name and social attached to it.
Your credit score and income are more important than an account in collections.
The state of Texas does allow for the garnishment of wages other than child support and school loans. Tax returns and other federal monies can be garnished.
Texas has set the statute of limitations for an open ended account at 4 years. A credit card is an open ended account. That will be measured from the last communications from the debtor. The credit card may be based on a different jurisdiction which could be longer! You need to check your agreement for the applicable jurisdiction.
